Why do people make the "smooching" noise when kissing? It seems like it takes at least a little intentional effort to make that noise. Is it weird to make out but not make the noise?

Gargling to rinse your mouth requires almost no noise. The gargle noise is 100% voluntary and unnecessary.

That's not true. If you want to get some of the medicine to the back part of your throat, that's why you gargle loudly, to keep it from continuing down your throat and accidentally swallowing it. If you only worry about around the teeth, you don't.

I like to scream while brushing and gargling, to get those really hard to reach places.

Please. Just turn it very low.

There’s no way I’m unmuting that video, when watching it.

Okay, but only because you asked nicely.

Edit: I hate you.

I believe you are thinkng of swishing. Gargling can be done without making the GARHGARHGARHGARH loud noise while still gargling and getting the back of the throat.

The difference is comaprable to singing vs breathing.

Actually no, I was talking about gargling.

Basically I only do that whenever I have a sore throat, but I don't know of any way of keeping the fluid from going past the back of your throat without making that loud sound.

I mean I'm not going to go with glass breaking decimal levels of making that sound, but you do have to do a gargling sound of some kind.

Anyway, I bow to your greater gargling techniques.

You tilt your head back like you normally would, and then just breathe out through the liquid. It does the exact same thing you're doing, just without vibrating the vocal cords.
